Modular programming enjoys many well-known advantages: readability, maintainability, separate development and compilation. However, the composition of modular units (components) s...
In recent work Baader has shown that a certain description logic with conjunction, existential quantification and with circular definitions has a polynomial time subsumption pro...
Failure detectors are commonly viewed as abstractions for the synchronism present in distributed system models. However, investigations into the exact amount of synchronism encapsu...
Generation of labelled transition systems from system specifications is highly dependent on efficient rewriting (or related techniques). We give an account of the implementation ...
Time dependant models have been intensively studied for many reasons, among others because of their applications in software verification and due to the development of embedded pla...
